The people looked in amazement at the direction of the voice, and saw that the priest famai looked at Chu Nan with a sneer on his face.
"Now that the sand eagle's people have withdrawn, this guy immediately ran back. Let me guess, you came back to ask us to give you the skill, right?"
Everyone's eyes brushed together and then fell on Chu Nan's face.
The high priest frowned, "priest famai, pay attention to your demeanor as a priest."
"Demeanor? Ha!" Famai raised her voice and sneered. "You fools, these foreign thieves have come to our house and want to steal our most precious treasure in front of us, but you don't know anything. It's stupid to treat him as a great benefactor of our family!"
"Fa Mai!" The high priest raised his voice and drank softly. "How can you slander the friends who just lived and died with us? This is not the attitude of our Rand people towards friends!"
"You treat him as a friend, but I won't." Famai stood up tremblingly, pointed to Chu Nan and shouted, "tell me, are you coming back to practice the Dharma this time?"
Seeing that the people's eyes were focused on themselves, Chu Nan looked at FA Mai, smiled angrily, nodded and said, "you're right. I'm here to ask for Dharma this time. The high priest made a promise to me that whether I can repel the attack of the sand Eagle this time or not, I will be given a chance to participate in the trial. Now that the sand Eagle has withdrawn, should I fulfill his promise to me?"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the Council hall.
The other priests didn't doubt Chu Nan at first, but at this time, they saw that he admitted so simply and said so naked. Even if they didn't suspect that they were really colluding with Chu Nan with those enemies, they were more or less dissatisfied with him.
Now the crisis of the holy mountain has not completely passed. At this critical moment when they are discussing the topic of determining the fate of the whole people, Chu Nan ran out and asked them to fulfill their commitments and beg for two skill methods. Is this... Is it a little ugly?
The high priest was silent.
He didn't have any doubts about Chu Nan. After all, everyone had watched Chu Nan's performance before. Chu Nan was seriously injured twice in order to help them fight against the sand eagle, one of which was blurred in flesh and blood and broken in bones and muscles, and almost died directly.
It would be unreasonable to suspect him of collusion with the enemy.
But at this time, Chu Nan asked him to fulfill his promise so straightforwardly, which really made people feel uncomfortable.
However, the high priest will not directly express the emotions in his mind like other priests. After pondering for a moment, he said to Chu Nan, "yes. This is my promise. Now that Chu Nan has fulfilled your promise, of course I want to fulfill my promise."
"You can't do that!" The famayi priest immediately shouted, "Qima, those two skills are the supreme treasures of our family. How can they be handed over to such a foreign thief and liar!"
"Watch your words!" The high priest took a deep look at famai. "Even if you have a deep prejudice against foreign people, Chu Nan and his friend really helped us through this crisis. And commitment is a commitment. If you don't even realize the commitment, what qualifications do you have to regard yourself as the guardian of the holy mountain?"
The priest of famayi trembled at the sight of the high priest. She turned her head to Chu Nan and pointed to Chu Nan. Her body trembled violently.
"Foreign thief, I will never let you steal our most important treasure!"
Leaving this sentence or, she snorted coldly and left the chamber with agility and quickness that was never in line with her age.
Everyone in the Council hall was silent.
After a while, Chu Nan suddenly laughed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, should we get down to business now?"
The high priest frowned slightly, looked a little embarrassed and said, "this... Chu Nan, you can see that there are still many things to deal with in the holy mountain. I'm afraid I'll try again later..."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Chu Nan waved his hand. "I heard you were discussing whether to withdraw? Has the result of the discussion come out?"
Hearing this question, the faces of all the priests, including the high priest, became a little embarrassed.
Seeing their reaction, Chu Nan immediately understood that they obviously didn't discuss the result at all.
In fact, this is understandable. After all, the holy mountain has been inherited by the RAND people for thousands of years, which is equivalent to the spiritual totem of all the RAND people. Now it is not so easy for them to withdraw.
Chu Nan had no say in this issue, and he was not interested in getting involved. He just winked at the high priest and asked, "high priest, can we talk alone? There's something I want to tell you."
The high priest hesitated, waved to Chu Nan and asked him to follow him into a cabin next to the Council hall.
"High priest, just say it. Is it possible for you to evacuate the holy mountain?" As soon as he entered the house, Chu Nan asked directly.
With a wry smile, the high priest glanced outside and shook his head slowly.
"Possible, but not hopeful..."
Chu Nan nodded to show understanding.
The elders are not talking about how to evacuate. In fact, they are not talking about how to evacuate.
These Rand people are indeed unwilling to give up their holy mountain easily.
"Well, if you don't want to evacuate, someone asked me to tell you a word. If you feel that you can't resist the enemy's attack, you can directly choose to surrender. She will help you recover the loss of holy mountain later."
"She?" The high priest was surprised to notice the name in Chu Nan's mouth. "Who is she?"
"Saint skele, high priest, do you know?"
The high priest's eyes widened sharply, his face was shocked, and even stretched out his hands to pinch Chu Nan's shoulder and exclaimed, "what did you say? Is it true? Is it really what she said? How did you know the saint of skele? How did she contact you?"
Seeing the high priest's fierce reaction, Chu Nan felt strange in his heart.
It seems that the relationship between the Reverend Orville and the RAND people is not as simple as the Reverend Orville said. There must be a lot of stories in it.
Chu Nan could only respond vaguely when he thought that the venerable auveli didn't let himself mention her true identity.
After all, the high priest was old and steady, but he was excited for a while and soon recovered his peace.
"Are you sure it's the saint of skele?"
"I..." Chu Nan wanted to say I'm sure, but after thinking about it, he couldn't be sure. He could only shrug and say, "I'm not sure, but it was an intimate elder of Angie belle who said this. I believe she won't lie to me."
"Well, other people will not know the title of Saint skele, nor will they know..." the high priest seemed to suddenly think of something again. His expression changed several times, and finally sighed. "If it's really the saint of skele, there's great hope that we can keep the holy mountain."
"Just promising?" Chu Nan frowned.
Venerable auveli is a star level warrior. What is a sand eagle with her hand?
How come the high priest still looks like he doesn't have enough confidence?
The high priest frowned again and thought for a moment, then suddenly nodded and said to Chu Nan, "thank you for bringing such good news, but we can't place our hope entirely on the saint of skele. We have to make the same effort ourselves. HMM... can you do us another favor?" (to be continued.)
